ALEXIS SANCHEZ has praised his fellow Arsenal team-mates following a 2-1 win against West Ham at Upton Park.

Goals from Santi Cazorla and Danny Welbeck helped the Gunners leapfrog their opponents in the Premier League table.

Despite not getting on the scoresheet himself, Sanchez has played a key role in Arsenal's season so far, and will be hoping he can fire them into a Champions League spot before the end of the campaign.

And taking to Twitter, Sanchez expressed his delight with the hard-fought win, saying: "3 points well deserved! Happy to be part of a TEAM of great players and very nice people!!! Thanks!!!".
